sound from speakers and headphone at one time

Hello. I have a GA-X58-UD3R with an onboard ALC889 codec.
when I plug in the headphones I still hear sound from speaker.

OpenSUSE:/etc/modprobe.d # cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
# u1Nb.GDpQEAJ8ayE:GA-EP45-DS5 Motherboard
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel 
options snd-hda-intel model=auto

i append last two string but it doesn’t helped me. What i do wrong ?

No matter how one looks at it, this is likely a bug and a bug report should be raised. This should ‘just work’ and clearly it does not.

Reference the model option you applied, there are many others than ‘auto’. Did you try them all one at a time (with a reboot between each) ? They are:

Please provide the information that is requested to be provided in our multimedia stickie for sound help: Welcome to multimedia sub-area

I’ll copy and paste this for you to make it easier:

please post in this … sub-forum, providing in your post the following information:

/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh 

and select the SHARE/UPLOAD option and after the script finishes it will give you a URL to pass to the support personnel. Please post here the output URL/website-address that gives. Just the URL/website-address. You may need to run that script twice (the first time with root permissions to update in the /usr/sbin directory, and the second time to get the URL).
.
Note if for some reason that gives you no website/url/address then run it with the no-upload option:

/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh --no-upload

and post the file /etc/alsa-info.txt it creates to Pastebin.com and press SUBMIT on that site and again post here the URL/website-address it provides.

.
… some clarification on running the script “alsa-info.sh” … when you run:

/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh 

you should get something like this (if it asks for an update, select NO):
http://thumbnails33.imagebam.com/9280/a5973e92794041.jpg](ImageBam)

followed by this (select the SHARE/UPLOAD option):
http://thumbnails30.imagebam.com/9280/5e84f992794044.jpg](ImageBam)

followed by this (its quickest if you simply select ‘NO’ to seeing the output - you will see it on the web page) :
http://thumbnails32.imagebam.com/9280/214da092794048.jpg](ImageBam)

followed by this (where in RED is the URL).
http://thumbnails23.imagebam.com/9280/d9858092794051.jpg](ImageBam)

Just post the URL you get (similar to the RED URL in my example, but yours will be different).

Again, if you can not get that, then run this with the no upload option:

/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh --no-upload

which will create the file /tmp/alsa-info.txt.  Copy that file and paste it on [Pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com) and press submit. That will give you a URL address. Please post that URL here.

Also provide the following:

  • in a terminal, or xterm, or konsole, type: rpm -qa ‘alsa#and post output here
  • in a terminal, or xterm, or konsole, type: rpm -qa ‘pulse#and post output here
  • in a terminal, or xterm, or konsole, type: rpm -q libasound2 #and post output here
  • in a terminal, or xterm, or konsole, type: uname -a #and post output here
  • for openSUSE-11.1 or earlier, in a terminal, or xterm, or konsole, type: cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound #and post output here
  • for openSUSE-11.2 or newer, in a terminal, or xterm, or konsole, type: cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf #and post output here

When it comes to writing a bug report, there is guidance here: openSUSE:Submitting bug reports - openSUSE and use your openSUSE forum user name and password to log on to bugzilla. Write the bug report against openSUSE-11.3 component “sound”. This will bring the problem to the attention of the SuSE-GmbH sound packager who is also an alsa sound developer, and if anyone can solve this, he can. Note he will NOT read an openSUSE forum thread, so it is important that your bug report has all the salient information. Attach to your bug report the text file (as an attachment) that you get from running:

/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh --no-upload 

And then track the bug report, checking every day or so. Note when the openSUSE packager asks a question, and you answer the question, be certain to clear the “NEED INFO” flag that he has set.

Good luck.

Reference the model option you applied, there are many others than ‘auto’. Did you try them all one at a time (with a reboot between each) ?

Yes. I run:

rcalsasound restart

So do I, on my Lenovo ThinkPad SL510. Is it a bug? Two separate mixer channels with total flexibility, and the ability to mute the speakers via the Mixer. :slight_smile:

Some of us think this is a bug. … We like the auto mute of speakers by plugging in the headphones, and most hardware works that way.

I take it then the ALC269Q in your SL510 does not work that way, and you like it. Thats good. :slight_smile: … I note: Realtek ALC269Q - ThinkWiki which suggests Thinkpad Edge 14", Edge 15", L412, L512, SL410, and SL510 will all have the same behaviour.

Sorry. I don’t understand you. How i can mute sound when i plug in speakers ?

You mean mute when you plug in headphones ? or when you plug in speakers ? Now I don’t understand.

sorry. I wanted say headphones.

Correct, it doesn’t work that way. I understand it doesn’t work as you like it. Headphones on notebooks provide superior audio especially with HD, but I can also mute the speakers via Kmix (KDE), Gnome equivalent, and presumably alsamixer (commandline). The KDE speaker volume is weak compared to Gnome. For me, bug or feature is an open question. However, I understand many users expect past behaviour to continue, ad infinitum :slight_smile:

And it looks like kernel 2.6.37 may fix my SL510 with “auto mute speakers of speakers by plugging in the headphones”, as YOU like it, oldcpu et al. I can live with that. :wink:
